Fair enough, but on a percentage basis, I feel like having the News button on every single FT post is overkill. And it clutters up the UI.
Maybe it could be moved over to the left next to the "online" status and "report" button.
Also, out of curiosity was this feature one of the things called out in the readership survey as something people were asking for?
P.S. someone told me the thumbs-up News button has been there a long time. I swear I've never noticed it before
